In time for the September school holidays, the Moira Youth Fest 2025 is set to shine a spotlight on local youth through a jam-packed program of live music, arts and activities.
Moira Youth Council Mayor Elly Slatterie said the Youth Council wanted to ensure young people had a real voice in shaping an event in their community.
“Having a free local event for local youth is really important, and we wanted to give people an opportunity to have fun, try something new, and learn more about our community in a safe and fun way,” she said.

It comes after the success of two youth music events held in Yarrawonga earlier this year, and ahead of a skate event to be held in Numurkah in October.
Council chair administrator Graeme Emonson said the event would be a celebration of Moira’s youth.
“When young people feel heard, valued and engaged, it benefits everyone. We’re incredibly proud of our Youth Council’s leadership in making this event a reality,” he said.
The free, inclusive event will feature live music, games, art workshops and food stalls, alongside local community organisations and service providers.
Aimed at residents aged 12 to 24 years, it will be held on Sunday, September 21 from 11am to 4pm.
